My Influence Is Gone

I really wasn't sure what to title this, and this has been the only thing on my mind for the past day. One of my favourite musical artists, Chris Cornell, who sang the theme for the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale and one of biggest musical influences for me, and one of the reasons that I enjoy rock music so much, passed away on the 17th of May. I haven't spoken to anyone all day, and I had to go home ill from school because of it. It may seem petty, but honestly, I can't think of anything without being reminded of it. It is genuinely affecting me as if a member of my family has died, maybe because I have listened to his music nearly my entire life, I really feel like I have lost something. I only get this feeling when certain people pass away, which makes me feel horrible, because I did not feel this way when my cousin died, when my aunt died, but when John Hurt died, I was inconsolable. It's because I just can't imagine these people as actually being gone.

I'm sorry if I ended up rambling or if some of the grammar was wrong, or if you didn't understand anything, but I really feel like I can't think straight or talk to anyone about it. This is first I've spoken about it to anyone who isn't my family, so of course it's gonna seem rushed or petty. I just can't put my feelings into words.

 

Well, those who are reading this, I'm sorry if you feel down reading this, but have a nice day, and don't worry about your problems. They will eventually blow over, even if they seem like they won't. Thank you for putting up with my rambling, and enjoy the rest of your day. Let's stay happy
